Picture this: It's early on a Monday morning. The sun is just starting to peak up over the eastward horizon. Your alarm clock slowly and gradualy fades into your favorite radio station. Ahh, time to get up. Life's not so bad, you grab a bowl of your favorite cereal (Cinnamon Toast Crunch), get cleaned up, and head to to work knowing that today is the day that you get to leave early. This week might not be so bad after all.
If only I could find a magical bridge to this dreamword. Actually, I was clip-clopping accross that lollypop bridge, happy as a pig in a blanket at 6:59 this morning, when my phone rang.
When I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing, I am instantly thrown into a panic, because lets be honest here people, nobody in their right mind makes a casual phone call before 7AM. So when I see my caller ID bleeping 'Bank', the sun is already up, and I notice my alarm was not turned on last night, I drop about thirty thousand f-bombs and scramble to work in eight minutes (no joke). A wonderful way to start a week. The fact that I have to stay late today to make up hours for tomorrows scheduled root canal just makes this peachy situation even peachier. Hell, Im practically drowning in a metaphorical can of Dole peaches right now.
Luckily, I do have the foresight to to know that these things will happen. This isn't the foresight that sets two alarms just in case. No, that would be illogical. It's the foresight that prepurchased two boxes of breakfast Hot Pockets and stored them in the break room freezer for when I missed breakfast. So now, to top it all off, I feel sick.
